Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes 2 September 10, 2008 David Barry represents the applicant at this hearing. They have been granted a variance in the past on two different occasions. The variance expired due the fact that no building had begun on the lot. Mr. Barry informs the Board that they have filed with the Planning Board and a road design is being done at the present time. Mr. Nelson informs Mr. Barry that the road design is of no concern to them and they are just interested in the lot itself. Applicant needs a landspace variance in order to deem the lot buildable. Building Commissioner Richard Stevens tells the Board that there has been a Building Permit application in his office for months waiting for the ZBA and the Planning Board to grant the request to deem the lot buildable. Mr. Barry tells the Board that the economy has caused hardship to get the lot sold and that is why no building has begun. The Board refers to the previous variance and the new set of plans.
